DISTINCTIVES:

1. We hold to the inerrancy of Scripture.

2. We hold to the continuance today of the diversities of spiritual gifts as found in 1 Corinthians 12:4-11.

To that end, we set aside specific times and services that allow for the exercise of these spiritual gifts.

3. We hold to simplicity in church government, rather than a complex bureaucracy.

4. We hold to a dependence upon the Holy Spirit to lead, rather than fleshly promotion.

5. We hold to the pre-millennial, pre-tribulation return of Christ for His waiting church.

6. We hold to the teaching of the Word of God in such a way that it can be applied to life as beneficial to ongoing maturity.
